This is utterly preposterous. People get up, shake it off, and go on all the time. Often with serious and debilitating injuries, which in the heat of the moment they ignore. This is how organisms survive. When the chips are down the tough just plain DO IT. Pain, save it for later. Got a busted leg, run anyway. Heck, I saw a 90-something year old guy that had been in a wheelchair for 20 years get up, climb onto a power line, RUN ACROSS THE LINE LIKE IT WAS A HIGHWIRE, and shim down the pole that was 80' away to get out of a fire. Don't even pretend you can tell me what people can and cannot do.So, yeah, nothing in my mind is more plausible than when you're lying on the ground with your bell wrung hovering on the edge of consciousness that some little voice inside says "get up or die" and HEROES get up. Wimps die. Second Wind FTW. Likewise you can't just do that all day and it sure helps if you have someone helping and it REALLY helps if you have some of that magic juice that sets your reserves loose.</blockquote>
